Sharjah airport in 1937 and Dubai airport today


The first video was talking about Sharjah in the past . It was  the bridge between East and West in the world, and was  the first airport in the Arab region .
It was quiet and people were simple and their lives were dependent on trade and navigation in addition to agriculture, fishing and hunting. The Europeans preferred  the Gulf and the Red Sea as the major  link between the Middle East and India In1932 the British government set up a runway for aircraft landing in Sharjah on their way from India to Britain. This was the first airport in the UAE and is still in use today. This was the airport, when it was founded located in the desert two miles from the city



  

The second video showed people dancing; it shows what is different between 1937 and 2011; the situation has been changed completely. 51 million people are traveling in Dubai Airport in 2011 with different nationalities. People who were dancing are called a flash mob; those types of people are making very good shows for the passengers to make them happy and to break the daily routine.
